dsqui Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Really depends on what you are flipping I use a brush jig for trees and thick grass, and an arkie head for flipping docks and Lilly pads. I prefer a more open lighter brush guard around docks and pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanmc Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Shawn Collins flat eye standup -6 is the best I've found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I use a Do It spinnerbait mold. This mold gives me a pointy shaped jig head which, in my view, gets you way ahead of anything else in it’s class. It comes through brush and grass amazingly well. From this jig head, pick the hook you like best, add a weed guard, a grub holding barb, a skirt, and use a paint job that will stand up to the abuse it will get! The cons: building a jig like this is labor intensive. For example, I wanted to have the hook eye protrude directly out of the point of the jig head, and in a horozontal position. To accomplish this, I had to heat the hook shank to straighten it out, and twist the eye into a horizontal position. Then, I used a dremel tool to modify the mold to accept a hook like this. The goal: More hookups, Fewer hangups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bar Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have been pitchin' a Poison tail jig a lot this summer. The pointed/angled head has been extremely weed less and easy to drag over timber. The hook up ratio is very good. I'm very satisfied with this mold. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I think it will depend on the weight you need to use and the cover. For dead falls and brush I really like the brush jig but when you have grass my absolute favorite is the snootie jig. I make a 5/8oz snootie with a 6/0 Mustad 32786, it gets down through even thick grass easily and the design makes it relatively compact for the size of the jig even with a 6/0 hook.

DaBehr Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 The Brush Jig works well for me. I use the Boss Heavy Weed Guard and get a LOT less hang-ups...but it still hooks small bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOBDlureco Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Thanks for the input fellas, I ended up getting a CNC Mold off of ebay with 1/4 - 3/8 - 1/2 & 3/4 Pz cavities. Looking forward to pouring some lead and trying it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
